Drake's Flowers

A foggy evening at Pt.Reyes National Seashore, but brightened by some local flowers.

Thanks in advance for any comments or critiques

Canon 5dm3, ISO 640, 35mm, 1/10 sec., f/16, tripod. Not sure why my ISO was set so high when I was using a tripod!

The colors are nice, the logs make nice leading lines and good depth, but it feels just a bit off balance with the hill on the left and nothing to balance it on the right.

Very nice image,Kathy. The colors are wonderful and the logs fit in. Not bothered by anything off balance. I like the full tide in the sand bar. There are some open and scraggly areas in the bottom and I might consider cropping a bit so the full plant colors are more impactful.

Kathy, the logs and the flowers are a great foreground. They lead into a terrific long view of the coast. The combination makes for an outstanding "you are there" view. I'd hang this and enjoy the view every day for many years.

I like it just the way it is. The colors are really brought to life in the large. Love the log triangle and my kinda sky. Very nice, Kathy.

There is a strong sense of place (and truth) in this photograph and I appreciate that very much. Many contemporary landscape photographers have departed so much from reality that their work no longer captures my interest.

The wildflowers in conjunction with the ocean is such a lovely sight.

Kathy, This is really nice and I'm enjoying your larger version very much. I totally agree with Anil's thoughts on this and so enjoy something that captures the natural beauty of a place.
